I was out on the weekend, and wasn’t able to post things. But today, here’s this nice page. At least, I like the mom and kid, drawn from life.

Further Faces

Cats and Dogs
By Jack Ruttan in cats, dogs, sketches, watercolourI’ve scanned a lot of pictures I’ve been painting the last while, and am going to put them up on the blog step by step, maybe. That’s so I can post stuff every day! Or, I might put them up all at once. Who knows?

Today’s Page
By Jack Ruttan in cats, paintings, sketches, watercolour, womenIt’s awkward scanning things out of a ring-bound sketchbook. Pages are all “cockled” when it’s watercolour, and you can never get it to line up on the scanner. I also had to scan this page twice and “stitch” together, which also was a pain. Not to mention fixing that tree, which had a lot of […]

Pinocchio
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, ruttan's placeTaking a break from all the sketchbooky angst to post these shots of a performance of “Pinocchio” in the local park, still going on, even as I type this!

Cell Phone Woman
By Jack Ruttan in sketches, watercolour, womenEveryone I see downtown these days is texting, or talking on a phone. Don’t know what to make of this, but it’s not me. Though I am addicted to twitter, and my little sub-notebook computer.

New Pug Dog
By Jack Ruttan in dogs, paintings, sketches, watercolourReading, and inspired by the comic Beasts of Burden, by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. Working on some animal stories, I promise! Okay, you’ve heard that before. Drawing pug dogs is fun. Not sure about the dogs themselves. One once got loose in this apartment when I left the door open. Discombobulated the cats. I […]

Leaping Car
By Jack Ruttan in paintings, sketches, watercolourThis is fun. Call it part of my Blue Period. Easy to add little colours here and there, and underneath. Unlike many people I know, I like painting and drawing machines, though don’t have a fondness for the ruler. I fancy this gives them more personality. I like objects with personality, and strive to put […]

Aviator
By Jack Ruttan in men, paintings, watercolourBeen slacking off on the sketch-blogging, I’m afraid. Will have to get back into it. i.e. don’t give a darn about what I post!

L’Écho d’un Fleuve
By Jack Ruttan in montreal, ruttan's placeSpent a while shooting and editing videos of the annual L’Écho d’un Fleuve event, which happens in this neighbourhood every June. It’s a thrill to do, and wonderful to think one lives in a neighbourhood where such things take place. Hooray for artists and dancers and all. Not an easy life. But it’s great to […]

F1 Confusion
By Jack Ruttan in horses, montreal, paintings, sketches, watercolourYesterday, I went to check out the Formula 1 Festivities downtown in Montreal. Snapped a few photos, as above. Kind of tiring, the whole thing, so I took a pit stop in Dorchester Square, ate French Fries, and sketched the equestrian monument to the wildly popular Boer War.
